We have Protestantism because an English king got pissy.

We have Anglicanism because an English king got pissy. Anglicanism is one flavour of Protestantism, and not the first one.

Martin Luther published his Ninety Five Theses in Wittenberg (Germany) in 1517 - the start of the Protestant Reformation. Prussia adopted Lutheranism in 1525, becoming the first Protestant state. Anglicanism and the English Reformation formally emerged with the Reformation Parliament of 1529-36 and split from Rome in 1534.
